Lawrence in Earlsdon: A Story of Becoming

Published on: 9th May, 2022

Until a few months ago, Lawrence was a school teacher. But his voluntary work with the City of Culture as a City Host made him think twice about the direction his career was headed. Now, he’s leaving the classroom behind to work with the local police force.

As we revisit Spencer Park, a place Sky Blues fan Lawrence found solace walking through during the pandemic, he reflects on the new connections he’s made and how the last year has given him confidence to reawaken his own artistic ventures.

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
